Why do I have to enter my Registration Number/Individual ID or National Insurance Number to conduct a search?

We require you to enter one unique identifier to ensure that the correct information is returned. All individuals on our database have a registration number or National Insurance Number which is why this has been deemed a mandatory field.

My National Insurance Number is not being recognised, why is this?

If you have supplied CITB with a temporary National Insurance Number, or no National Insurance Number, we are unable to conduct a valid search using this number. You should contact the relevant card scheme.

What is my Unique Learner Number, and where can I obtain this?

If an individual has opted into being registered with the Learner Records Service and has subsequently registered with CSkills Awards, CITB’s Awarding Body, they will have a Unique Learner Number which can be used as a search parameter.

If you are unable to find your Unique Learner Number ask your current or previous learning provider to collect it from the LRS organisation portal.
